Blackletter's use (and non-use) by the Germans throughout the 19th and 20th century is a demonstration of a desire to present rhetoric in a popular and naturalized way, however contradictory the messages were compared to what appearances suggested. Bearing similarity to a 21st century predilection for 'greenwashed' design, it becomes apparent that the ingenuine appeal to the comfort zones of visual communication demonstrates an certain immortality of the medium of propaganda.<br><br>Produced as part of a final group project studying blackletter typefaces.
